A RISKY BUSINESS

*DATA VALUES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED/SCRAMBLED, SEE README FOR MORE INFORMATION.

One of the riskiest businesses is oil and gas (O&G) exploration. With only ~50% of drilling success, explorationists want to make sure they are targeting adequatend by doing formations a so, avoid million-dollars losses. The risk climbs exponentially if it is taking place in a virgin basin, with unproven commercial potential. O&G projects are risky ventures due to their complex nature, potential environmental impact and high operational costs.

The goal of this visualization system is to give explorationists a first-hand overview of their preferred source rock by analyzing their geochemical parameters.

Especial emphasis has been put into the source rocks lately due to their source-reservoir behaviour as the shale industry keeps booming. By analyzing the data embedded in the visualization, explorationists can get an overview of the geochemical data of different source rock formations in the U.S.
